From Ceiling To Trim: 5-Day Studio Repaint in South Portland

In just five days, CYR Painting Service completed a full interior repaint of a 4,182-square-foot Pilates studio located in South Portland, Maine. This commercial project involved a complete refresh of the space, including ceilings, walls, and trim. The client wanted a modern, clean, and inviting atmosphere for their wellness-focused clientele—something that aligned with the studio’s brand and vision.

We were brought in to deliver a professional-grade solution using top-tier materials with lasting durability and a flawless finish. The total cost of the project reflected both the scale of the space and the premium paints and coatings applied. This was not just about color—it was about creating an experience from the moment someone walks through the door.

The client reached out to CYR Painting Service after realizing their studio no longer reflected the calm, elevated energy they wanted for their clients. Years of wear and tear had dulled the colors and chipped away at the once-sleek interior. The existing paint showed scuff marks, fading, and uneven sheen—especially under the soft lighting typical of fitness and wellness spaces.

They were clear about their goals: they wanted a paint job that could withstand high foot traffic while maintaining a polished, professional appearance. But they were also anxious—time was tight. The studio had to shut down for less than a week, and the entire project had to be completed without sacrificing quality.

From the first walkthrough to the last brushstroke, our team focused on making the experience seamless and stress-free. We walked the client through paint finish options, sheen levels, and color schemes. Once the vision was aligned, we got to work.

• Surface Preparation: Inspected all ceilings, walls, and trim for existing damage or buildup. Lightly sanded and cleaned surfaces to remove dust, scuffs, and oils, ensuring maximum paint adhesion.
• Minor Wall Repairs: Patched small dents, nail holes, and imperfections in drywall to create a smooth, uniform surface ready for paint.
• Masking & Protection: Carefully masked off mirrors, floors, light fixtures, HVAC vents, and pilates equipment. Drop cloths and plastic sheeting were used to protect all non-painted surfaces and ensure a clean workspace.
• Ceiling Repaint: Applied a uniform coat of high-performance paint to all ceilings, taking care to maintain smooth, even coverage with no lap marks or roller lines.
• Wall Repaint: Rolled and cut in two fresh coats of premium Scuff-X Eggshell on studio walls for durable, high-traffic performance with a clean, professional look.
• Trim Repaint: Sanded and cleaned baseboards and door casings, then applied two coats of Scuff-X Satin for a slightly elevated sheen and extra protection in high-touch zones.

The final result was a complete transformation. The once-tired space now feels fresh, bright, and grounded. The walls look crisp and consistent under both natural and artificial light. Trim lines are sharp, clean, and add just the right amount of depth without overwhelming the design.

Most importantly, the client was thrilled. They mentioned how impressed they were with the speed, cleanliness, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. What really stood out to them was the way our team worked around their schedule and hit the 5-day timeline without cutting corners.

“I can’t believe how different the space feels. It’s like walking into a whole new studio.”
